1. Prosecutors charge ASU student in viral Tempe police takedown video (azfamily.com) — Tempe residents may want to know that an ASU stunt team member seen in a viral Mill Avenue arrest video is now facing two misdemeanor charges in Tempe City Court. The July encounter, captured on TikTok and police body cameras, has raised questions about use of force, with the student's attorney alleging officers escalated the situation and police defending their actions.
2. Dunmor will relocate headquarters to Horizon Bay in Tempe (azbigmedia.com) — A national real estate lender, Dunmor, is moving its corporate headquarters into the Horizon Bay offices in Tempe, bringing new jobs and investment near ASU, Tempe Town Lake, and Loop 202.

3. Tempe 140-MPH Corvette Arrest: No Superior Court Case Yet (backfirenews.com) — A high-speed Corvette case on Tempe streets is raising questions about how far the city should go in using tools like the Grappler and 20‑day impounds to curb reckless driving.

4. Tempe forms public safety subcommittee to rebuild trust in police (statepress.com) — Tempe's City Council has created a new public safety subcommittee to rebuild trust in the police, review use-of-force policies, and boost de‑escalation and body‑camera use.
